In writing Intimate Apparel, Nottage set herself a formal challenge and also a tonal one. Every scene takes place in some sort of boudoir and Nottage says that she placed a bed in the middle of every scene, "because I wanted to see the way in which it impacts interactions. Even if the bed isn't used, even if no one sits on it, how does that change the sexual dynamic, the social intercourse?"
